Berry Field Meeting: Using Hummingbirds to Help Control SWD
August 22, 2018
Biological and Cultural controls of SWD are possible. Come learn about ongoing research into encouraging hummingbird predation on SWD adults. Dr. Juliet Carroll of NYS IPM will also discuss new research into better thresholds for monitoring SWD and how those thresholds will more accurately inform spray decisions. Managing crop canopy and weeds are also critical for SWD control.
If you don't want to spray we will have current information on exclusion netting work.
